Hi Bo,

First, please report specific build failures as bugs against the
appropriate source package.  You don't have to suffer through these
issues alone :)

https://github.com/epicsdeb

wrt. RTEMS...  When I started creating these packages in 2009, I was
also putting together a system based on running RTEMS on some VME
crates.  I found it convenient to have a portable RTEMS development
environment.  Rather than create a separate mechanism, I decided to use
debian packages.

A number of things have changed.  Since leaving BNL I haven't had any
projects involving RTEMS.  Several imo. essential packages (cexp)
haven't been ported to RTEMS 4.10, stalling progress w/ 4.9.6.  RTEMS
now has it's own package manager-ish tool (RTEMS source builder).

You aren't the first to see this as a barrier to progress.  As I'm not
able to support RTEMS packaging anymore, I'll ask if someone else is.
If not, then support can be dropped.
